Gladiators

Amongst the snarling werewolves grew the staggering intensity of the chilling night , leaving me in the middle of the colosseum.

“ Go ahead, Young Lycon, “ Vixen teased. “ Let’s see if your worth to call yourself a she-wolf, “

The werewolves pounced at me as I leaped out of the way,”

“ You want a fight, then bring it, “ I yelled .

The wolves rushed at me as I charged back at them while transforming into my she wolf persona.

I leaped above the werewolves while flipping in the air before landing three feet behind them as I swept kicked the first one. Causing him to fall to the ground right before I pounced on him and snapped his neck.

“ Not bad, “ Vixen taunted me from a far. “ But let’s see how you handle the other three, “

Just as she said that, two of the werewolves stormed at me, each one slashing their claws left and right as I barely avoided them. My talons reached deep into the first one’s stomach as I constricted my body around his and pinned him down to the ground.

As the wolf roared in pain , the second opened its mouth at tried to bite my head off. But before he could, I lunged away from the werewolf’s mouth and kicked him across his jaw. The third wolf jumped over me and pinned me down to the ground right before I slashed him against his neck and pushed him off.

“ Suprising , “ Vixen said. “ The Wingfoot cub has some fighting skills to her even when transformed. But let’s see if she can handle this , “

With one snap of her fingers, Vixen somehow caused jagged pillars of stone to uprise from the ground.

I rushed out of the way as each of the piercing pillars emerged to crush my body, only to find that the four wolves began to pursue me again. Everytime I pounced on one of the rising pillars , the werewolves seemed to be right behind me. Even able to land a free cuts on me as I pushe them away.

“ Ok. Now this is getting interesting, “ Vixen smiled as she tossed a green potion bottle at me. The bottle exploded instantly, blinding me with green gas and causing me to fall to the ground.

My eyes burning from the intensity of whatever chemical Vixen threw at me , my only hope to determine my surroundings was to keep my eyes shut and focus on the snarls of my attackers.

“ Just like mom and Nani taught me, “ I thought to myself as I began to sense the approaching wolves circle in on me.

The werewolves charged relentlessly at me as they continued to growl at the thought of devouring me . But as I felt my heart calmed down ,I felt a strange blue glowing plasma flow through my claws as my eyes burst with white light .

Before I noticed what I was going on, my body released blue wolf shaped constructs composed of the strange plasma from my hands.

Simultaneously , the werewolves seeking to make me their casualty were blown away from my strange new abilities , rendering them knockout.

After they had hit the hard pavement of the ground, the sarcastic clapping of Vixen disturbed my mindset as the bizarre woman snickered at me defeating her minions.

In a blinding fury, I stormed at Vixen with all my fury as my face brushed against the air rapidly from every step I took.

“ Down , Little Lycon, “ Vixen said as she snapped her fingers and conjured a pink Gus of wind around herself.

I looked around for her before stumbling on a vortex of white energy underneath me. The vortex suffocated me and forced me to revert back into my human state and collapsed on the benches of the arena .

“ You have a lot to learn, Young One, “ Vixen said as she reappeared above me.

“ Young One?, “ I asked . “ You can’t be that much older than me , “

“ I’m flattered . But trust me on this, I have a few years a head of you,”

“ Dial it back. How were you able to disappear ? Let alone, force me to turn ? ,” I asked as I leaped up from the ground and landed on my feet.

“ Both good questions. However , I’m surprised that your not wondering how you pulled of that mystical blast , “

“ Well, yeah that too, “

“ That little trick is called Wolf Shadow. Only an Lycon can perform it under the right circumstances , “

“ You keep calling me a Lycon. But that can’t be right. My parents told me …,”

“ Lycons are only make believe , “ Vixen interrupted. “ Typical propaganda from the younger generation , “

Vixen pulled out her hand and generated a small locket with a red moon carved against it’s silver casing.

“ Open it , “

Compelled to follow Vixen’s order, I took the locket and opened it up. Inside revealed to be a picture of the moon goddess Luna standing side by side another woman covered in black and red tribal paint.

“ What is this?, “ Buffy asked.

“ This is Luna and her twin sister, Dalia , “ Vixen explained.

“ The moon goddess has a sister ? ,”

“ Your tribe truly has not told you of your heritage. Have they ? ,” Vixen asked with a heavy sigh. “ Let me explain. Before Luna became the moon goddess , she and Dalia were the Demi god daughters of an exiled she-wolf named Verna and the god of time , Chronos, “

“ Chronos is real too ? , “

“ Indeed , Young Lycon, “ Vixen confirmed. “ But like all of the ancient gods, Chronos grew bored of dealing with mortal affairs and left this realm shortly after Verna died of old age. Leaving the twins to deal with this domain among themselves, “

“ What do you mean domain ? , “

“ Must I explain everything ? , “ Vixen complained. “ Every earthly domain must be maintained by a deity in order to continue to exist. Otherwise, the land of that domain will be erased from existence, “

“ So Lyconville and my people’s new home are a part of that domain ? “

“ Now your getting it , “

“ What happened to Dalia ? , “ Buffy asked.

“ After Chronos left this world, the two sisters were at war over whom would take the role of the moon goddess as the only way for a demi god could reach full godhood is to slay one of their own in combat, “

“ So I take it that Luna won that fight ? , “

“ Correct , “ Said Vixen.

“ But what does any of that have to do with me ? , “

“ Before the fight , each of the sisters gave birth to a daughter . Dalia gave birth to a young she-wolf with a moon scar on her face , “

My eyes opened wide as I instantly realized that their was only one person who fit the description .

“ Jennifer, “ Buffy said. “ But who is Luna’s daughter ? , “

Vixen walked me before placing her hand on my shoulder.

“ You are, “
